PREFACE 



So far as can be ascertained, this is the forty-second edition 
of the Statutes of King's College, Columbia College, Columbia 
University, which comprise a consecutive series covering a 
period of one hundred and sixty-six years. The first Statutes 
were adopted by The Governors of the College of the Province 
of New York in the City of New York in America on June 3d, 
1755, and they are entered in full on the minutes of that date. 
These statutes were revised in 1763. Subsequent editions 
were published in 1785, 1788, 181 1, 1816, 1821, 1827, 1830, 
1836, 1843, 1848, 1851, 1853, 1856, 1857, 1859, i860, 1865, 
1866, 1870, 1874, 1878, 1880, 1882, 1884, 1885, and 1887. 

In 1890 an exhaustive study was made of the then existing 
statutes and of all previous legislation of the Trustees as far 
back as 1820, with a view to the codification of the statutes, 
resolutions and administrative practice, and for the purpose of 
establishing the practice of embodying in the Statutes and 
By-Laws all resolutions of continuous operation. A complete 
revision of the Statutes had become necessary at this time, 
owing to the fact that the College had grown into a University 
and had thereby become a far more complex organization, 
calling for definitions and delimitations of power as to offices, 
schools, and departments. As the result of this study, a re- 
vised edition of the Statutes was published in 1892, and at the 
same time much obsolete legislation was repealed. 

Since 1890 the Statutes have been printed with amendments 
in 1891, 1892, 1894, 1896, 1897, 1899, 1900, 1902, 1905, 1908, 
1909, 191 1, and 1916, and as contained in the present edition, 
they constitute the organic administrative law of the Univer- 
sity as it now exists.

CHARTERS 



On October thirty-first, seventeen hundred and fifty-four, 
in the twenty-eighth year of the reign of George the Second, 
a royal charter was granted by Letters Patent to the Gover- 
nors of the College of the Province of New York, in the City 
of New York, in America, creating them a Body Corporate to 
erect and maintain a college to be known as King's College 
for the Instruction and Education of Youth in the Learned 
Languages and Liberal Arts and Sciences; with power to elect 
their successors, to hold property, to appoint a president, 
fellows, professors and tutors, and to confer degrees. 

This charter remained in force until May I, 1784, when 
the Legislature at its first session after the adoption of the 
Constitution of the State of New York, passed an act entitled 
"An Act for granting certain privileges to the college hereto- 
fore called King's College, for altering the name and charter 
thereof, and erecting an university within this state." 

By the terms of this act the franchises and property of the 
Governors of King's College were vested in a corporation 
styled the Regents of the University of the State of New 
York, who were thereby empowered to appoint a president 
and professors and to make ordinances for the government of 
King's College, the name of which was changed to Columbia 
College, and of such other colleges as they should found, 
composing the University. 

This act was repealed by "An Act to institute an university 
within this state and for other purposes therein mentioned," 
which was passed April 13, 1787, largely through the efforts 
of Alexander Hamilton, then a member of the Legislature, 
and a Regent of the University. By the terms of the repeal- 
ing act the original charter granted to the Governors of 
King's College was amended, ratified and confirmed, and the 
franchises and property formerly enjoyed by the Governors 
of King's College were vested in the Trustees of Columbia 
College in the City of New York, who were named in the act 
and declared and constituted trustees of Columbia College, 
in perpetual succession, according to the true intent and mean- 
ing of said charter. 

On March 23, 18 10, the original charter was further amended 
by the following act: 

* The charters are printed in complete form in the volume entitled Charters, Acts of the 
Legislature, Official Documents and Records, compiled by John B. Pine, Clerk of the Trustees.
